    You can review a PR commit by commit. But it's not obvious how in the UI. Navigate to the commits tab on the PR page and you can navigate through the commits in the PR and review t…

    I was reading the git-bug documentation and found "bridges" to third-party platforms: https://github.com/git-bug/git-bug/blob/master/doc/usage/thi... I have not tried it.

    There's a cross-platform trash/recycling library you might be interested in: https://github.com/Byron/trash-rs

    That's a brief statement which makes me think I'm missing something obvious, but it doesn't seem obvious to me. Would you please expand on that?

    I mount the board on some nylon standoffs through a takeaway box lid. The rest of the takeaway box is the enclosure. I drill some holes through the takeaway box for wire ingress an…

    I need this for practice. Perhaps I ought to use text-to-speech and then transcribe the audio back to text and compare.

    > did you ever internalize the importance of the verbs "to be/is/am/are/been/were" and "to have/has/had" growing up as a native English speaker? Definitely not to the extent that I…

    You and I know that, but it's not important or useful to a non-French speaker learning English. To those people, those are merely English words. And indeed, they are English, even …

    As someone who is currently learning French and (amateur) teaching English I agree in general with your take on English. The frequency with which I say "yes, it doesn't really make…

    I've spent quite some time in France over the past few years and variously dealt with websites of French organisations during this time. I'm not sure what it is, but French website…

    Thank you! I've been using Nushell for a couple of weeks and at this point I don't see myself going back. Modern configuration. Great interactive usage (structured data, mostly!). …

    How would you achieve your example with macros? My inclination would be to do this with regex replace and I can't think how I'd do it with macros. I guess there's some functionalit…

    These are of course, good points; cement probably being more porous than many people perceive. Just a little (hopefully interesting) speculation: adhesion might be less important, …

    Could you be more explicit, perhaps with an example? Do you simply mean you prefer function/constructor parameters over DI?

    Listening to a podcast[1] a while ago and the interviewee talked about the pervasiveness of the tobacco industry in our culture. At the risk of misrepresenting him: I think he woul…

    That's a clever thought. Do you know whether connections could be established outside the tunnel after you disable airplane mode but before the tunnel is re-established?

    As I read it, it recommends Phillips for manufacturing due to self centering and perhaps cam out; and Torx and Robertson for manual applications. I guess it draws this particular c…
